Inspirational & Motivational Quotes for Women Here's To The Woman...who knows where she's goingand will keep on until she gets there;who knows not only what she wants from lifebut what she has to offer in return...

HERE'S TO THE WOMANwho is loyal to family and friends,who expects no more from othersthan she is willing to give;

HERE'S TO THE WOMANwho guides and inspiresnot by quoting others philosophies but by living her own good example;who accepts both victories and disappointments with the same grace,and who can rise above life's challenges and move on...

HERE'S TO THE WOMANwho gives the gifts of her thoughtfulness,who shows her caring with a word of support,her understanding with a smile;a woman who brings joy to othersjust by being herself...(author unknown)

FOR
PRACTICE by Ivor CutlerOne of
favourite poems by Ivor Cutler - a bitter sweet fishy love tale. I've included
this wistful poem in my one-woman shows... when people hear it, they laugh and
sigh.Also a stunning
painting by Chris Rose of a soaring albatross brings the story to life. For Practice A Halibut fell
in love with an Albatross
And tried to rub its scales against the great bird
The bird was shy and hovered
The Halibut lay in its shadow and yearned
Listened to the stinging wind as it swept at the surface
It learned the bird’s song and they sang duets
In their South Atlantic territory
Even when the sun was elsewhere
For one can sing in the dark

A man on a whaler shot the Albatross for practice
And the Halibut… ate it for a memento.

"That
she is a diva there is no doubt… To say that Neason is versatile is to
understate the case. She moves seamlessly from jazz to country, blues to
folk; Neason is a one-woman multinational cabaret".The Independent, UK *****
